We've only been in the game a little over a year (and I know it had already changed so much) but even we have noticed certain things that have changed. But hey, things never seem to be the same after that first time. I can remember all the excitement Heather and I had on our first day of caching (we found 10 that day without a GPS unit), it was such a rush!<br><br>And then we had to make our way back up the hill through 10 inches of snow, barefoot, and no coats. Ahhh... the good old days.<br><br>Jared<br></span></span><tt><tt><br><br></tt></tt><b><i>Roping The Wind <arizcowboy@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">

Does this all bring back some memories! I happened to do a search on <br>Google and a link to this page came up. "the big 100 mark". Wow, and we used <br>to think that was a big thing to get to 100. Back in 2002, it did indeed <br>take alot of hiking and traveling around to find 100 caches. Today, you can <br>find 100 caches in a day... without leaving the east valley (and probably <br>the air conditioned comfort of your car!). Those really were the days. Every <br>cache find was a quality cache and with each one, I couldnt wait to get into <br>the outdoors and find another one.
Those days, you had to drive many miles <br>across town to find one cache. There were no 'questionable' caches in terms <br>of location and private property issues and police questioning what you were <br>doing and all that stuff!<br><br>Like everything else.. this game has really changed over the years!<br><br>Scott<br>Team Ropingthewind<br><br><br>____________________________________________________________<br>Az-Geocaching mailing list listserv@azgeocaching.com<br>To edit your setting, subscribe or unsubscribe visit:<br>http://listserv.azgeocaching.com/mailman/listinfo/az-geocaching<br><br>Arizona's Geocaching Resource<br>http://www.azgeocaching.com<br></az-geocaching@listserv.snaptek.com></blockquote><br></div><p>
